James Gunn has shut down rumors that the new DC overseers at Skydance have meddled with his cut of Man of Tomorrow following his shocking DC Studios exit.
The internet has filled with gossip in the wake of Gunn and Peter Safran’s departure as co-chairmen of the comic book entertainment wing earlier this week. As an ocean of rumors rises, some of the more worrying claims have seen some suggest Skydance has already taken control of the Superman director’s sequel, which could result in major characters like Supergirl and Blue Beetle being cut entirely.
These are just some of the accusations that Gunn sought to dispel in a Threads post tonight. In what is essentially his first public statement since leaving DC Studios, the filmmaker took aim at the gossip that has DCU fans concerned. Not only have “sweeping changes” to Man of Tomorrow not been made, but apparently, no one at Skydance has even seen his movie yet.
“There are a lot of untrue rumors going around, but one of them is that Skydance has seen Man of Tomorrow and that all sorts of sweeping changes are being made,” he said. “No one from Skydance has even seen the movie – the only people that have are Peter Safran and a very small trusted group of friends and family. So any stories around this narrative are false.”
It’s a response that will not answer every question comic book movie enjoyers have about the future of the DCU, but it does clear the air about much of the more damning chatter online. Gunn’s comments mean that any talk of Skydance being unhappy with the current cut of Man of Tomorrow is false. It also sounds like, at least for now, Supergirl and Blue Beetle, who had been previously reported to return, are safe.
